Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's armed wing, said in a video posted on its Telegram channel on Sunday that three captives were killed, including a US citizen, during Israel's military operation in central Gaza.
During the attack on Nuseirat refugee camp on Saturday, Israeli forces killed 274 Palestinians and wounded 698 others. Four Israeli captives who had been held since 7 October were rescued.
An Israeli military spokesperson said the Hamas statement about three captives being killed was a "blatant lie".
